The Language Preference setting determines the default language for system-generated text shown on a blog for an anonymous user. For an authenticated user, blogs are displayed using the language that they specified in their reader account settings.
The Language Preference setting is associated with a locale so, for example, EN_US is English, US, where US is the locale. Culturally dependent fields, such as the date and time, are displayed according to the locale. The locale affects the manner in which Numbers, Currency, Time, Short date, and Long Date are displayed. The locale sets the cultural preferences, for example, such as whether time is displayed using the 12-hour clock or the 24-hour clock.
The default setting can be changed at any time to another available language.
To change the default language for the blog:
| 1. | Click the Settings & Security tab. |
| 2. | Click Publishing Defaults in the Options list. |
| 3. | Click Advanced. |
| 4. | Scroll down to Language Preference. |
| 5. | Use the Language Preference drop-down list to choose the language to use. |
| 6. | Click the Save Settings button at the bottom of the page. |
